I did a manual frugal install to my Acer Revo nettop.
The proprietary nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38.run) compiled
and updated xorg.conf.
Now I have the correct screen resolution etc, and the mouse works but
the keyboard doesn't.

I run puppies from a FAT32 partition. Each time I run Slacko64 it leaves the partition in a state that win2k complains about. Win2k runs the disk check and finds no problem.

I installed your VLC 2.1.0 PET and then I installed alienBOB's VLC 2.1.2 TXZ over the top.

I now have VLC 2.1.2 working nicely.

The TXZ does not seem to install properly on its own. It gets stuck with BASH taking 100% of one core until I shut down.
I does copy the files to the right place, though.

TurionPowerControl + CPUID & MSR are working and I have turned the P-State voltages down to sensible values.

The idle cpu load is about 4% whereas fatdog is less than 1%. Nothing shows up in TOP, but something is using cpu cycles in the background.
It's not important for my desktop but may be significant on a laptop.

...the above also recorded in /tmp/root/ as report-video,
and archived with xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log as report-video-full.gz

PPM is working for james and firefox is blazing for you, I'm not
getting the same result as you on this nettop or my i7 desktop.
Should I report my results or just be quiet?

Apologies if I offended you in anyway.
I just though that would be important for the developer to know the extend of the problem, ie if it is hardware/setup specific or something more general.
I hope you find this practice agreeable._________________== Here is how to solve yourLinux problems fast ==

Same here. I installed one package while running live....... different pupmode/ hardware/ devx installed or not/ etc could make a difference.All of the different variables is one reason why testing is important.

Billtoo, I gather the md5sum was ok. Strange that you have the same result on 2 machines. I don't know what else it could be other than an error copying the files to disk. To eliminate that possibility, or at least reduce it its chances of occurring, run "sync" after copying files.

For your convenience, here are the checksums of the original files (in case it is a copy error):

Although it is under Issues on the Nabble Slacko64 page, I thought I would mention here that the BootFlash Install Puppy to USB does not work. It hangs when it is trying to copy the iso to the USB stick
